About Digital Safety Guide
Plain-language help for staying safe, private, and free online.
Why this site exists
Most people aren't reckless online — they're just never given clear, trustworthy information. The advice that exists is often too technical, contradictory, out of date, or quietly trying to sell a product. Meanwhile, scams grow more sophisticated and the amount of data collected about us keeps rising.
Digital Safety Guide exists to fix that. Everything here is written in plain language for people who would never call themselves "technical" — free, with no sign-up and nothing to buy. It is available in English, French, and Spanish.
Our principles
- Plain language — no jargon without an explanation.
- Independent — we don't exist to sell you a product.
- Practical — every article ends with something you can actually do.
- Honest about trade-offs — perfect security doesn't exist; we help you make sensible choices for real life.

Share it freely
The best thing you can do with this site is send a page to someone who needs it — a parent worried about scams, a teenager setting up their first accounts, a friend who just got hacked. Good digital safety advice should be common knowledge.
